Forté Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 That is a sexy camo job, definitely spruces up the model a bit! Cheers. Been busy weathering it tonight. No pigments used though. All paint.

WarriorFish Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I've only really done it on half a dead Black Templar so this is my first real attempt at weathering. Fingers crossed eh. Let me know how it goes and if you have any tips Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293356-to-camouflage-or-not-to-camouflage/page/2/#findComment-3738783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhawk3015 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 One general tip for weathering. Less is more. Its easy to get carried away and destroy the models paint job in the process.

Forté Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Had a go last night. Ignore the tracks as I still need to pick out the raised areas in a dark grey metal. Not sure if the weathering really shows up though.

CoffeeGrunt Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's quite subtle - probably cos the tank is so damn big, tbh! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293356-to-camouflage-or-not-to-camouflage/page/2/#findComment-3738886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Maybe I do need to go over it a bit heavier Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293356-to-camouflage-or-not-to-camouflage/page/2/#findComment-3738895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhawk3015 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I have no doubt it is visible, but it looks like the pictures are getting a washed out by the sunlight. so any weathering you did do is blending in with the greys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293356-to-camouflage-or-not-to-camouflage/page/2/#findComment-3738969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain sox Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Great job! Looks good. As was recommend to me, you gotta dirty it up a bit around the tracks and hull... mud mud mud!

No mud on an ash waste ;) But it does need more weathering.

Kierdale Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Looking good so far. Perhaps some close-ups of weathered areas? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293356-to-camouflage-or-not-to-camouflage/page/2/#findComment-3740415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Looking good so far. Perhaps some close-ups of weathered areas? This any good? ;) Did some more weathering on the Stormsword as it wasn't really showing much. Prefer it now so I started work on the guns and engine area. I took a couple more to show how the weathering is from a little closer. Any ideas always welcome. Though I wont be using any weathering powders as I don't have any so it's all paint.

Kierdale Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Looks good. I suppose you could have some Nuln Oil or Typhus Corrosion streaking down from bolts and whatnot. Or try for some scratches (thin dark line with lighter line under). Graffiti and kill marks later, I'm guessing.

GrandMasterAralia Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Love those old inks! Such a shame they discontinued them :( how did you paint on the weathering? Looks very realistic :) foam spunge dabbing?

Forté Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yup. Foam sponge and charadon granite then some boltgun metal in the heavier areas. I've been looking at some military modelling forums too lately so I'm going to try the less is more approach with dirt running from rivets etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293356-to-camouflage-or-not-to-camouflage/page/2/#findComment-3745770 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If only it weren't such a disgusting blasphemy to the Omnissiah in the name of your heathen Gods! Props for being the only Slaaneshi converter to not put something silly like a hot tub or metal band on it. Further props on the excellent paint job! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293356-to-camouflage-or-not-to-camouflage/page/2/#findComment-3751814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Those have no place on the battlefield. My head doesn't even connect those sort of things with my Slaanesh force. I wanted this to look like a new acquisition. That way I could try out weathering and camouflage. Have it tell a little story. For example: 6 crew to a Stormsword = 6 flayed faces. Large Aquila has head removed. Was captured due to it being number 6 and being called Extremis. Renamed 'Soul Flayer' which is sprayed on the side in dark tongue.

Forté Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Fine work forte, well done! What's your next model going to be? :P Unfortunately I can't post my next pieces on B&C. Both are on my blog though (click the Forté Nocturnus banner in my signature). After those it'll be back to things I can post on B&C. No Guard though, although I did enjoy weathering this tank so you never know.
